New figures from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) show that 4.8 million £150 cost of living payments have been processed over the last three days
New figures from the Department for Work and Pensions show that 4.8 million £150 cost of living payments have been processed over the last three days, indicating that it is on track to achieve its plan of making most of them by the end of Monday, June 26.
An estimated 6.7m people claiming disability benefits, including Personal Independence Payment , Adult Disability Payment and Attendance Allowance, will receive the lump sum directly into their bank account. It will appear on accounts and statements as a ‘Bank Giro Credit’ with the claimant’s National Insurance number followed by ‘DWP COL’.
For those people awaiting confirmation of their entitlement to disability benefits on April 1, or who are waiting to be assessed for eligibility to receive disability benefits, the payment process may take longer and arrive after the scheduled window closes on July 4, but DWP said the money will still arrive automatically.
It also warns: “If you receive a disability cost of living payment, but we later find that you were not eligible for it, you may have to pay it back.” The guidance on GOV.UK states: “Payments will be made to people who were getting a qualifying disability benefit from DWP before payments to people who were getting a qualifying benefit from the Ministry of Defence.”
